Let us hope he returns.

My sentiments exactly. I've enjoyed the show thus far, but killing off top tier characters from the canon may cause me to leave the remaining episodes unwatched on the DVR.

Chilton staying dead would be even more Dexteresque, akin to killing off Rita for shock value. That's when Dexter started to circle the bowl.

Please bring back Dr. Chilton—great character and he's needed for Silence.

Bryan Fuller will become the George Lucas of the horror genre if he kills off Chilton.

My sentiments as well. So, Chilton gets disemboweled and then kills Abigail?
